During its transition period to Oneworld Mexicana created and launched a new regional unit Link designed to operate 13 Bombardier CRJ200s, and introduced transatlantic service to London Gatwick and Madrid with Boeing 767-200s and Airbus A330-200s respectively. The carrier also undertook a fleet revamp of its Click low-cost unit through the replacement of its Fokker 100s with dual-class Boeing 717s.

He who laughs last obviously has'nt heard the bad news.
